The second season premiered on March 18, 2022.[1] The third season was released on May 19, 2023.[2] The fourth season was released on August 1, 2025.[3]

In each episode, siblings Michael, Addy, and Karl have a new adventure each day but get into a certain problem or predicament. They seek the help of the wise and calm neighbor, Stillwater the panda, who tries to teach them a lesson through his stories. The stories turns from the 3d animation to a 2d animation with the characters as animal hybrids who have each experienced a similar problem and learned something important after it. After Stillwater stories, the children take the moral of the story to solve their own problem, and everything usually works out in the end.
